How we handle sink repair in Shangton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and a period basin that needs restoring, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shangton and across Leicestershire.

What affects the price in Shangton
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Shangton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
